under the direction of Acting-Master's Mate William H. Thompson, who, by his brave example, restored confidence to his crew, and did great service in the action. I have again the pleasant duty of bearing testimony to the gallant conduct of the officers and crew of this vessel, and the spirit and zeal exhibited in the performance of their duties on this occasion. John R. Tennant, quartermaster, gave the soundings with as much coolness as though he had been making an ordinary survey. Mr. John McHugh, our pilot, behaved in a remarkably cool and selfpossessed manner, and gave me great assistance. Great credit is due Lieutenant A. P. Cooke for the efficient manner in which the guns were worked, and for the good training of the ship's company. Accompanying this report I send Assistant-Surgeon L. M. Lyon's report of casualties. I am, sir, very respectfully your obedient servant, Pierce Crosby, Lieutenant-Commander. Flag-officer D. G. Farragut, U. S. N., Commanding Western Division
